Less is More
Or so they say.
Anyway, I still haven't had much time on a regular basis to post consistently. This is annoying me. I feel like I have a 100 posts written in my head, yet I have only put a few up. Maybe I should quit my job so that I can devote more time to the blog.
We bought a new TV yesterday. Best news of the week. It's a 32" Samsung LCD, HDTV ready and whatnot. Very cool. Of course, the cable signal here isn't the best or most consistent, so we won't be fully taking advantage of this technology for quite some time. But that's ok. We now have a bad ass TV that will soon be mounted on the wall.
The new apartment is still getting sorted out. There are a variety of things that the builders need to fix - a leaky pipe, knobs on the shower doors, an uneven part of the floor, et. al. But, we bought some nice things yesterday and we'll buy a few more things today and that will pretty much be it. Oh, and one of my wife's aunts is loaning us her washer and dryer for 3-4 months, so we don't have to worry about that expense for awhile. I've been investigating the washer/dryer combo in one unit (they really need a good name for that, how about: wyer) but apparently they don't have gas powered versions here in Colombia, only electricity users. So, we have real concerns about the energy usage and now that I have the data necessary on the available units in the country, I have to do the power usage research. Because as cool as that technology is, it just doesn't make sense to pay more for the wyer and more every month in energy bills (not to mention the carbon usage).
I have another month to the semester at Javeriana and I'm happy about that. Teaching english there has not been the best experience. Or, I should refrase, teaching english is not the most favorable experience for me. Anyway, I have one class of all professors of the university. They get to take the class for free, assuming they pass. Never a lazier, more worthless group have I met. It looks like 2 - 4 of my professors are going to fail and have to pay for the course. I should take some blame for that as their teacher, but given that those 2- 4 are taking a course too advanced for them (something I told them at the beginning), that I've given them every resource imaginable to help them (including basically telling them that if they want to prepare for the exam they should listen to a CD that comes with the book), and that they refuse to study outside of the class, they can go to hell. Worthless, arrogant clods, they are.
I still have pics from Miami and the new apartment to put up. But realistically, that won't happen until next week. I really don't have much "at home" computer time during the week and we have more things to do today.
I'm reading John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath right now. Best book I've read in a very, very long time. He is now my official idol. Whatever awards he won for that book weren't enough. If something that I write ever comes close to his level of excellence, I will be pleased indeed. I have two more books to read after this one, Richard Clarke's Against All Enimies and The Making of Modern Colombia by David Bushnell.
Ok, that's about all for today. We've got things to do and there's lunch to be found and consumed. I hope all is well and I hope my cute little niece had a very happy birthday party at the DC zoo.

"I wanted to write a song about that… I wanted to reflect the idea of the country, and the sense of the country…" Adam Duritz of Counting Crows brought a mix of concert and storytelling to Ironstone Amphitheatre at Ironstone Vineyards on Tuesday night, as part of the band's "25 Years And Counting Tour". He shared some stories about the origins and inspirations behind the songs that are so familiar to their fans, in a sprawling set approaching two hours. In addition, the crowd also enjoyed a lengthy set from the band Live as well as younger act Boom Forest. It was a beautiful night in Murphys and the mix of musical styles and genres entertained the massive crowd in attendance. [Read more…]

Steve Miller Band & Peter Frampton at Ironstone Amphitheatre | Murphys, California | 8/13/2017 (Concert Review + Photos)
"This is the 34th city on this tour. And I woke up this morning with the cold from hell. I made it through thirty three and a half days. But however we do have a really great treat in store for you… let's get together and welcome Mr. Peter Frampton to the stage. We've been having a really great Summer playing lots of different American blues tunes and we're going to do three of them for you. This very first one we do you already know, it's called "Mercury Blues" by K.C. Douglas". Steve Miller of Steve Miller Band on stage with co-headliner Peter Frampton playing to a sold out crowd at Ironstone Amphitheatre on Sunday night, bringing their popular tour to an end. Both artists have made visits to Murphys in recent years, but it was nice to enjoy them on the same stage. The crowd went wild for their performances both together and apart, as they had fans up on their feet much of the night. [Read more…]
Matchbox Twenty & Counting Crows at Ironstone Amphitheatre | Murphys, California | 7/24/2017 (Concert Review + Photos)
"And now here we are… What are we going to do with this night, that's the question right? It's up to us, and it's up to you guys… what are we going to do with this night? It's a Monday night… I propose that we had a Monday last week, and we'll have a Monday next week… but this is our Monday tonight. And if we don't make the most out of it, we're just wrong. So the only question I have is, who's with us? Front to back, side to side, who's with us? Alright, let's do this…" Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, bonding with the massive crowd at Ironstone Amphitheatre at Ironstone Vineyards. Touring alongside Counting Crows on their "A Brief History of Everything Tour", it's all about giving the fans what they wanted, and it would seem that they delivered. [Read more…]
Pixies at Ace of Spades | Sacramento, California | 10/26/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"I try to think about tomorrow, but I always think about the past… about the things that didn't last… if I could go to the beginning, then for sure I would be another way… make it better for today…" Pixies (the "loud quiet loud" band) are a quiet band on stage in-between the generally quick songs, so we are left with the music, and the lyrics within, to try to figure out what is going on with them. It was less than one month ago that they released their sixth studio album – their second without founding bass player and vocalist Kim Deal – and their first with new full-time member Paz Lenchantin. The new album serves as fuel for this tour, with just four rare dates in Calif0rnia this month as prelude to many shows across Europe, England, Australia and New Zealand, keeping them busy until early next year. So it was interesting seeing them and hearing some of their new music performed at Ace of Spades in Sacramento on Wednesday night. The Pixies in Sacramento. A rare thing indeed. One of my all-time favorite bands playing in the city where I was born, and where I first saw the band way back in 1990, about a quarter of a century ago. A different time. So much has changed, but so much about the band remains the same. I've taken the new album, Head Carrier, for a spin and those lyrics above stuck with me. Interestingly, the vocals on that particular song are delivered by Paz, who is no Kim soundalike (on vocals or bass), though obviously the message in those lyrics is for Kim. So the Pixies in 2016 is older, mature, different… and the band is at once both old and new; looking backwards and forwards. The album sounds quite different from everything that came before (even 2014's Indie Cindy). And I think that the sentiments expressed in that song, "All I Think About Now", kind of sums up this new iteration of the Pixies. With this live show, the old and the new were mixed together to create a different sort of Pixies show, giving something fresh to both new and old fans alike. But there are still those songs that carry on and remain classic to those who were with it at the time, in the band's short-lived first incarnation in the late 80s and early 90s. The concert was a tribute to that as well.
Pixies New Album "Head Carrier" Out; Four California Live Shows Lead World Tour
Pixies put out their sixth studio album, Head Carrier, on September 30th. This is the first album from the band to feature Paz Lenchantin on bass. Pixies have now announced four shows in California to end this month, before embarking on a tour of Europe, England, and Australia in November, December, and March. [Read more…]
Belly at Great American Music Hall | San Francisco, California | 8/26/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"Do I have my readers on my head? How long has that been the case? Is that from the first set? [shouts from crowd: "just the second!"] That just leveled me, a little bit, to be honest…" Tanya Donelly on stage with the recently reformed Belly, pulling her reading glasses off of the top of her head during their blazing show at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on Friday night, which prompted bass player Gail Greenwood to playfully interject, "this is the only person I know who actually applied for an AARP card… meanwhile the rest of us will cut that motherfucker up!" Tanya, acknowledging her father up front and center in the crowd quipped in reply, "I'm an Irish girl… I like my discounts!" A reflection of the funny and fun-loving vibe between the band (and family) on this quite special tour, with the "dream pop" alternative band back together some 20 years after their break up in the mid-90s. Not only did they seem to be having more fun than anyone at the sold out show (which is saying a lot), but their performance was truly impeccable, bringing back so many of their great songs and playing them in a way that made them sound better than ever. With Thomas and Chris Gorman also on stage on guitar and drums, the reunited band also played two new work-in-progress songs, which is a reflection of the status and future of the band, moving forward with new love for one another and what they created together, as well as building on what once was with what might be. The future is bright for the quartet and their fans.
Train with The English Beat at Ironstone Amphitheatre | Murphys, California | 8/6/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"I don't even know where we are right now…" Patrick Monahan of Train to a sold out crowd of upwards of 7,000 fans at Ironstone Amphitheatre at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphy's California. Train certainly brought the magic to turn out such a massive number of fans to Murphys, California for a special evening under faint moonlight and brilliant lights from the stage on which they and The English Beat performed on Saturday night. Bringing a mix of hits, new songs, and covers, Train had the crowd up and out of their seats most of the night, and Monohan was on point vocally as well as engaging with fans, taking selfies with their mobile phones as well as performing one song from out in the audience. It was really a stellar show that left most satisfied but also probably thinking about doing it all again in the future. [Read more…]
Sublime with Rome at Ironstone Amphitheatre | Murphys, California | 7/27/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"This album's called "Doin' Time", because this here feels like Summertime, alright, so party with me…" Rome, of Sublime with Rome, doing an updated version of the 1997 Sublime hit, which itself was an homage more than a cover of "Summertime" by George Gershwin. Like ripples in a lake, impactful music can take on a life of its own as it moves through time. Of course, Sublime with Rome is not Sublime (original vocalist Bradley Nowell died in 1996), but this band and tour is as much about the subculture as it is the music, and seems to draw a crowd that skews younger than one might expect, given that the original Sublime was a 90s era band. But it was an evening filled out with music of several eras, with the youthful Bleeker kicking things off, with Tribal Seeds and Dirty Heads following. Each had it's own unique genre-bending sound and style, providing an interesting kaleidoscope of music for those moved by reggae, hip hop, rock, and alternative. [Read more…]
The Goo Goo Dolls at Ironstone Amphitheatre | Murphys, California | 7/15/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"…sort of the college kids version of owning a winery." John Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls at Ironstone Winery, talking about when he and Robby Takac met just out of high school many decades ago and starting selling weed to their friends. Headlining a concert tour with Collective Soul and Tribe Society, this stop played to thousands at Richter Entertainment Group's summer concert series at Ironstore Amphitheatre in Murphys, California. While both The Goo Goo Dolls and Collective Soul are most associated with the '90s (when both bands broke out with global success), each have endured and continued to produce new music and evolve with the times. The Goo Goo Dolls' latest album, Boxes, is in my opinion one of the best albums of the year, and worth checking out, as is this awesome live tour. [Read more…]

Fire Water BBQ1847 Knapp Rd.
Crest Hill, IL 60403
Visit Our Website
Fire Water BBQ & Brew was born in 1871 as a result of tragedy, and experimentation in the pursuit of the best BBQ possible. The original men were well aware that the best BBQ came North from the Southern states, just after the civil war. They knew that theirs would have to be exceptional to be remembered. Hence, was born a process often imitated, but never duplicated. The meat its self had to meet specific requirements, the cooking equipment had to be specially designed and the length of the hickory smoking process had to be determined. Lastly, the combination of ingredients to create the worlds best BBQ sauces had to compliment the unique flavors of the meat. They accomplished what they set out to do, and we can prove it! If you are a BBQ lover put Fire Water BBQ & Brew on your to do list.
The flavors, traditions and hospitality of Southern style BBQ perfected in the windy city. We provide dine-in, carry out and catering options.

Canoeing water grades explained
The British Canoe Union (BCU) is the lead organisation supporting canoeing and kayaking in the UK. They have set up a grading system to help people assess which areas are suitable for their canoeing ability. In this article, we explain how the grading system is calculated and how you can be sure that you aren't putting yourself in unnecessary danger.
In any sport it's important to know your limits and tackle challenges which test you but are not so far beyond your own physical/skill limits to pose a danger to your wellbeing. It's also true that sport doesn't just attract those looking to push physical limits, it also attracts those who simply enjoy being active. Canoeing and kayaking is no exception to this. To help establish whether or not a stretch of water is too dangerous for your ability level, the British Canoe Union (BCU) has set up a grading system.
The grading system runs from one through to six and is based on a series of criteria; water temperature, wind, wave height, waves breaking, potential swim difference, paddling at night/fog and miscellaneous hazards (such as remoteness or difficulty of communication).
You'll rightly point out that many of those criteria will vary from day to day. As such, the grades you may find in guidebooks will be based on an average day. It's therefore important to know how water is graded so that you can assess for yourself on any given day whether or not a stretch of water is within your ability.
Grading system
The grading system works on a points system which can be worked out as follows:
Water temperature - every degree below 20 degrees centigrade scores one point
Wind - one point per mile per hour wind speed
Wave height - two points per vertical foot
If the waves are breaking, add ten points
Swim distance from the shore - one point for every 25 metres from the shore in normal clothes. 1 point per 100 metres if wearing a wetsuit or dry suit
If paddling at night or in fog add 20 points
Each miscellaneous hazard adds ten points
Total the scores (using the criteria on the right) according to the conditions on the day then divide by ten to get the grade of the water. You can then relate the grade of water to your ability as follows:
Grade I - Suitable for beginners
Grade II - Moderate conditions which require a more experienced canoeist
Grade III - This is the first grade of water considered "white water" and therefore requires an intermediate to advanced skill set.
Grade IV - Challenging conditions, advanced skills required
Grade V - Very challenging, only to be attempted by experts
Remember, it's great to challenge yourself sometimes but don't do so at the risk of your own safety. Make sure you assess the water you're about to canoe or kayak on and make a sensible decision as to whether or not you go out. Be honest with yourself, know your abilities and don't be a hero!

Contrary to the notion of innovations coming from an individual genius, most breakthrough ideas in an organization come from a group of people working together in a disciplined and focused manner. As a leader of a team tasked with new idea generation, your most important role is to inspire an innovation mindset in order to achieve the best outcomes in terms of a new product or service idea.
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." – Steve Jobs
Here are five ways for you to help create an innovation mindset with your team:
1. Leave logic at the door.
Focus on the need or want, but encourage your team members to let their minds wander. There was a time when people flying was beyond logic and now it's commonplace. So what if an idea goes beyond what's technically possible right now? The beauty of innovation is that it's looking well into the future.
2. Be open to whatever connections the team makes.
When we're observing the world, our brains are taking in more than we can consciously process. If a random idea comes to the team, explore it rather than dismissing it out of hand. Years ago, sitting in Penn Station, I had a thought that people weren't using their mobile phones as phones anymore. Everywhere I looked over the next few days, I saw people looking at their screens, not talking on the phone. That was a lightbulb moment for me that signaled the start of a changing behavior.
3. Ask why. And ask it again and again.
Give your team permission to be a two-year old and ask why all the time. Just because something has been done a certain way for a long time doesn't mean that's the only way it can be done. I overheard a young girl in her mom's shopping cart asking Siri questions. "Siri, where can I play?" "Siri, where are swings?" "Siri, where are my friends?" Observing the world through the eyes of a two-year-old can yield surprisingly fresh ideas.
4. Explain what you are seeing in multiple ways.
This helps push past current perceptions by putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Pretend you are writing a story for children. How would a witch describe what she's seeing? How would a bear describe what it's seeing? How would an alien, new to Earth, describe what it's seeing? Changing your perceptions opens your eyes and mind to new ideas.
5. Stop thinking so hard in the same place.
Steve Jobs was famous for taking long walks in the woods around Palo Alto and letting his mind wander in order to problem solve in a different environment. Your innovation team could likely benefit from a similar approach by getting outside the office to jumpstart new ideas.
Cultivating an innovative mindset with these simple techniques can lead to greater success for the team and your organization.
Ready to test your team's latest innovative ideas?

In the pipeline
Beside struggling with body pain, past trauma stress and patching up on my former education I left years ago, I'm preparing a lineup of articles covering different subjects from chemistry, music, health issues and tips, cult recovery and of course Scientology.
A teaser for those interested in Scientology
I'm currently researching the true state of affairs of Scientology in Europe, Asia and Africa. There will be one comprehensive Scientology article in particular that I'm sure will interest my readers. I will share a link to the factual documentation I got in my hands which the article is based on. This is information the church doesn't want their parishioners to know about. The article will come fully equipped with graphs and numbers impossible to explain away. Another proof of how the church is lying and deceiving their members to extort them for money. Soon freshly pressed on the fringes of the Internet*.
What if…
If you got ears and eyes and still glorifying the Church of Scientology, you have a responsibility to examine both sides. What if the ugly scenes presented by bitter defrocked apostates* are actually true?
*) The Church of Scientology's favorite labels for their critics.

Try the same old foods in different recipes. We are so lucky to have such a wide variety of spices and seasonings at our disposal for relatively cheap. Bulk Barn and Bins and Bins make it easy to pick up small amounts of spices to try in new recipes. Some times adding new flavours to foods can bring new life to them. Try the usual foods in your diet in new and exciting recipes! Make food fun again!

It's New Years Resolution Time! I actually think resolutions can be made year round and I'm that person that will say "why not now" when people say they will start their dietary/lifestyle changes on Monday, or after Christmas, or after my birthday. However, New Years is just as good a time as any to start changes.
Try setting SMART goals:
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Action-oriented
R - Realistic
T - Time framed
I always encourage setting behaviour related goals, for example, "I will try out this new gym twice per week for 1 month" rather than "I will lose 15lbs in 2mths".
Also, be realistic with your goals, can you achieve it 80% of the time? If so, it's realistic.
Check out information from Eat Right Ontario about setting SMART goals.

Tip # 15
Look for opportunities for physical activity - take a walk after dinner to enjoy the lights, take a few laps around the mall before it opens to do some Christmas shopping or take guests to local attractions.
My two cents:
It's really nice out there, hard not to smile when you see cheerful displays on peoples yards. I passed two houses that were playing music yesterday evening, it was magical. I'm a cheese ball I know, but it really is nice.
December 21, 2016
Tip # 14
At restaurants, the portion sizes are usually huge - almost always "two for the price of one." Request appetizer portions, co-order and co-eat with your dinning partner, or have the server package up your meal to go as soon as you feel satisfied. Remember, "super-size" is no bargain if you didn't need that much food in the first place!
My two cents:
I don't really have two cents for this tip. One more tip to go, and it's a good one! Stay tuned!
December 20, 2016
Tip # 13
Before having a cookie, a piece of fudge or other holiday treat that was laid in the break room, check your hunger level. If you're hungry and you choose a favorite food to satisfy you, remember to sit down and eat mindfully - no guilt.
So those M and M's I was telling you about yesterday. I ate them, and didn't really want them to begin with, ranted about them a bit, but you know what... I enjoyed them. I sat down and ate each one individually. I didn't thrown a mini cup full of M and M's in my mouth for 1 single taste. No, there were maybe 15 M and M's in my mini cup and I got 15 tastes of M and M's. Remember to sit and really taste and enjoy all the sweets and treats that are making their way into your life this holiday season, that's what they're meant for...enjoying!
December 19, 2016
Tip # 12
It's common to have candy and snacks lying all over the place this time of year. Avoid indulging in food just because it's there. Grazing unconsciously leads to extra calories that you probably won't even remember enjoying.
TRUE STORY! Chocolate and treats everywhere! I have a candy cane sitting on my laptop right now, good thing it's not Doritos! I did have some M and M's this morning before lunch. They were tasty, I'll probably have some more before the day is over, despite the fact that I have 4 clementines, 1 banana, 10 celery sticks in a little baggie beside me, 3 flavours of yogurt in the fridge, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread in the fridge and PB in my drawer. Not eating these candies and snacks is difficult (even though there are many other more nutritious options), my preference would be to not have them around at all and if I really want M and M's, I can go buy some.
December 16, 2016
Tip # 11
Be cautious of "obligatory eating" - avoid eating just because it is on the table, on your plate, because you paid for it, it's free, or because someone made it. Deal with Food Pushers with a polite but firm, "No thank you". If you're concerned about hurting their feelings, ask for the recipe or a small portion to take home with you for another meal.
I bet if a co worker brought one of these gorgeous, homemade snow man cupcakes in to work, it would be very difficult for you to say no. If you tried it and didn't like it, I bet most people would probably feel bad for throwing it out. This is obligatory eating, it's free, someone made it for you and now you feel bad for not finishing it. This happens so often! Sometimes I try to take half instead of the whole thing (which many people hassle me about, oh well), and if I don't like it, I may quietly try to give it to someone or ... gasp... throw it out.
December 15, 2016
Tip # 10
Be aware of the effects of alcohol on your food intake. And don't forget that many beverages contain calories too.
For anyone who has had a few drinks, what happens to eating those chips or peanuts or salty foods? Are you like me and all reasoning flies out the window and it becomes a free for all? Those Doritos are so much tastier after a few drinks.
December 14, 2016
Tip # 9
Since the duration of the meal tends to be extended at social events, you may need to have your plate taken away (or put your napkin on it) once your are satisfied to avoid nibbling unconsciously.
Another tip I find helpful thorughout the year, especially when I am dining out. I often find I am full before I am fiished my meal and am so prone to just wanting to finish it becuase there may not be that much left. Sometimes I remember that I don't have to finish it and can either take it home or leave it. Sometimes I end up munching on those cold nasty fries just because they are there. It happens to all of us! Remember these tips to help control this at times.
December 13, 2016
Tip # 8
If the food doesn't taste as good as you expected, stop eating it and choose something else.
This can be hard if you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or have trouble throwing food out. I get it, it's hard, but sometimes it's not worth it to eat food you don't like to spare someone's feelings, sometimes it is.
December 12, 2016
Tip #7
If the food is so special, give it your full attention rather than eating on autopilot. Eat mindfully by reducing distractions and sitting down to eat - even if it's just a cookie. Appreciate the appearance and aroma of your food and savor one small bite at a time by putting your fork down, You'll eat less food but enjoy it more.
This is another tip that can be used all year round. Why not make it a habit to slow down and taste and savor everything you eat all the time? Tasting and savoring food may help to keep you satisfied with less. Give it a try!
December 9, 2016
Tip # 6
Survey all of the food at a buffet before making your choices. Choose the foods that you really want most at that time and remind yourself that you can have the other foods at a later time.
This tip comes in handy throughout the whole year! My big thing is Doritos, I know that Doritos are always available at a store within minutes of me at any time. It helps to really think about if I want those doritos now or if I can wait for a bit more. Knowing they are available at any time means I can get them when I REALLY REALLY want them, but can hold off a little longer if I don't need them right now.
December 8, 2016
Tip # 5
Socialize away from the sight of the food. People who tend to overeat are "food suggestible" so just hanging around food causes them to eat more than they need.
HELLLOOO! That's me! I'll hang out by the tree next time.
December 7, 2016
Tip # 4
Pace your eating prior to the event so you'll be hungry but not famished at mealtime. But please, ignore the old diet advice of "eat before you go to a party so you won't be tempted". That is absurd! You want to be hungry enought to enjoy your favorites.
I've done both, starve myself all day, only to over do it and eat before going, only to over do it and feel icky. There's gotta be a better way! What I try to do now is get in my fruits and vegetables before the party, enough protein to stay satisfied. I know that at a pot luck party, if I have the choice of vegetables or swedish meatballs, I'm going for the meatballs.
December 6, 2016
Tip # 3
Think of your appetite as an expense account. How much do you want to spend on appetizers or the entree? Do you want to save some room for dessert? Go through this process mentally to avoid eating too much food and feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the evening.
I tend to have more of a taste for salty than a sweets. I can see myself spening my "appetite acocunt" on the appetizers than the entree or dessert. If I had a preference for sweets, I may want to check out the desserts first and make sure I save a little room for them, or heck, go nuts and have dessert first!
December 2, 2016
Tip #2
Be a food snob. Skip the store-bought goodies, the dried-out fudge and the so-so stuffing. If the food you select doesn't taste as good as you expected, stop eating it and choose something else. Think of how much less you'd eat if you only ate things that tasted fabulous!
This is my favourite tip of the bunch. I kinda think if I'm going to overindulge at any time, it's gotta be at least worth the taste. I don't know about you, but there are so many parties and gatherings, it's hard to not be surrounded by food. Try to pay attention to the taste, if you don't like it, don't finish it. No one is paying attention, and no one will be offended. We're all entiltled to our taste preferences.

One of my favorite handouts is called 15 Tips for Holiday Eating Without Weight Gain.
I've got exactly 15 work days left until Christmas. I thought I would post each tip and give my two cents about them.
Tip #1
It is easier to get distracted from signals of physical hunger and satiety at social gatherings, especially if food is the main event. Make an effort to pay close attention to your body's signals.
How often do you end up hanging out close to the food spread. Try to remember the holidays are not just about the great food but also about catching up with family and friends, make events more about this than the food.
October 18, 2016
Journalling...yup, I'm going there. Journalling your food intake with detail can be of huge benefit. Whether you're trying to acheive a nutrition goal, or whether you need to take an honest and objective look at your diet, journalling is a great tool.
The many benefits of journalling your food intake:
- keeps you mindful
- helps achieve goals
- helps identify food intolerances
- keeps you accountable
- allows your dietitian more information to asses your diet
- helps you identify the good food choices you are making
- helps identify trends.
... the benefits are endless!
Be sure to note the time, the amount and the specific type of food in your journal. If you're not into pen and paper, try a food tracking app. My fitness pal and eatracker.com are just two apps, check them out, there are tons!
October 1, 2016
Getting bored of the same old dishes? Need quick and easy? There are so many options for sauces and seasoning blends, unfortunately they may have a lot of sodium in them which can affect your blood pressure. Most spices and herbs have no added salt. Look for seasoning blends without all the sodium. Here are just a few options:

Check out your spice aisle and see what you can find with no added salt.

Eat the rainbow! There are so many fruits and vegetables out there. As a Registered Dietitian, I often get asked which ones are best. I always tell people they all offer different vitamins and minerals and you can find something good in each of them. Have fun with it: try new fruits or vegetables you've never had before. Try them in different recipes, cooked or raw. Look into where they come from. Make eating the rainbow fun!
August 2, 2016
Summer is still in full swing. Maybe it's time to try a new activity! Anyone into Pokemon go? Have you tried Geocaching?
How about renting a kayak or paddle board or one of those "unique bikes". I have yet to see a person in a unique bike without a smile, looks like so much fun!!
Check out Fun Rental North Bay for more information. Get out there and enjoy the great summer weather!
*picture from Fun Rentals Website*
July 19, 2016
A couple months left of picnic weather! Legumes are great foods full of fibre and protein. Make a Black Bean, Chickpea and Avocado salad for the next family picnic! Pulse Canada has some great recipes and information about legumes, check it out HERE.
July 6, 2016
BBQ season is in full force! Pork tenderloin, chicken breast and shrimp are great lean meat options. Don't forget your vegetables; asparagus, peppers, mushrooms and onions are great on the grill. Grilled pineapple makes for a tasty dessert.
June 22, 2016
It's almost berry season! Enjoy a day of physical activity by picking some berries. Find a fun salad or recipe to enjoy your berries.
June 8, 2016
Eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day. Try snacking on carrots at lunch and having a spinach salad with supper.
May 26, 2016
Get your Omega-3s by eating two servings of fatty fish every week. Salmon, trout, sardines and herring are examples of fatty fish. A portion the size of a deck of cards is 1 serving.
May 13, 2016
Enjoy and really taste your food with all your senses. The more you taste and enjoy, the less you may need to feel satisfied.
Try putting your fork or spoon down between bites OR try using a small spoon or fork for smaller bites.
April 27, 2016
It's still cool out there, but the sun is shinning!
Walking can get boring. Take note of the different colours of leaves or listen to the different bird sounds. Try to enjoy your walks!
Check out http://discoveryroutes.ca/north-bay/ and take advantage of the great trails in and around North Bay.
April 14, 2016
Try your best to eat food at the table, not in front of the TV.
April 1, 2016
Aim for ½ a plate of vegetables at you supper meal. Balanced meals can help keep you full and get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to work properly.

Principals discussed in Ryan Braun's swing analysis video below can PERMANENTLY fix the two most common - not to mention frustrating - swing mistakes:
Most of the common fixes are temporary, if at all. Believe me, I've tried everything with my students.
With lunging, I've tried:
None of these seemed to work long-term.
With arm-barring, I've tried:
None worked for any length of time. And worst of all, when the hitter got tired, they defaulted back to their arm barring movement. The solution didn't stick AND was frustrating for me, the student, and the parents.
This Pandora's Box drove me - fanatically - to look closely at current human movement Science and research. What I found was astonishing. It made total sense. AND, I started to see the Principals in other explosive rotational athletes, over and over again.
The reality of our body is this...
In a previous Swing Smarter article, I talked about how the human body closely resembles the springiness of a Red Kangaroo.
In that article, I also talked about how opposing compression and tension forces are at work within the body...who's sole purpose is to go to battle daily with Gravity and Gravitational Reaction Forces.
And finally, in that piece we discussed how elite small hitters (like Ryan Braun) can hit like big ones, using the Catapult Loading System. Our body's own evolutionary springy mechanism - much like a kangaroo's!
And what I've found is that the Catapult Loading System cured a student of mine's stubborn three-year-holy-war against arm barring...check out his Case Study video here:
How did I fix lunging? This will always be an ongoing battle because a pitcher's sole purpose is to keep hitters off-balanced. BUT, what separates average hitters from above-average ones?
Simple. How well the hitter can make on-the-fly adjustments.
How is this done in the name of lunging?
I actually have my hitters stretch out their stride! Sounds counter-intuitive huh? But if your stride foot gets far enough out to where the pelvis and knee can't get over it, then technically, a hitter will lunge less.
With Charles above, we've begun this process and pitches both his dad and I used to say - till we were blue in the face - "let the ball travel Charles' - he was making on-the-fly adjustments and crushing the ball...maybe not in the gap or over the fence, but for being off balance with the pitch...it was night and day.
In the video analysis below, we'll see whether:
What you're going to learn are the true PRINCIPALS to explosive rotational power, and how ALL rotational athletes have to abide by them...if they want to be successful.
Here's a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"As to the methods there may be a million and then some, but principals are few. The man who grasps principals can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principals, is sure to have trouble."
Think of methods (drills) as almost everything you find on YouTube about hitting. Principals are universal laws that govern ALL human movement.
WATCH THIS VIDEO as I put Ryan Braun's Swing to the Test...
Discover how to get coaches to line up and beg to have your hitters on their team. The Pitch-Plane Dominator Course goes into how to build more barrel time on the plane of the pitch in 4-simple steps. The course is a step-by-step online video guide to helping your hitters decrease strikeouts, mis-hits, ground-balls, and weak fly-balls. The Pitch-Plane Dominator course will increase repeatable power numbers and multi-hit games. CLICK the Link below to...

Absolutely (in my opinion) the best 'The Rest House' part so far. Yui Asami is fantastic as always, though Hinata is a bit more grown up this time... Which is great! A surprisingly varied set of tracks, the highlights for me being the massage and bathtime (nothing dirty!) Top it off with cooking sounds, and a really soothing sleeping sounds, at this price it's a no-brainer. Propably the best price/quality I've ever seen.

I usually don't like ASMRs because when I use them to sleep they are too loud to the point where the character voice is too low but the background sounds hurt. This one is perfect, especially the mimigaki track. Boy am I picky with my mimigaki. Most of what I have listened to in other mimigaki ASMRs are scratching wood on wood sounds which hurts my ears. This one's pretty soothing and the voice is very enjoyable. Not to mention it's only $3. That's a steal for near 3 hours of content. This is a good one to pick up. Heck, I suggest getting all the items under this group. All their stuff is pretty neat and affordable so supporting them means more stuff in the future!

Amateurs will pay half the entry fee that a professional will pay and will only be able to win a maximum of $750 in the form of tour credit or pro shop gift vouchers. Since amateurs are paying half the entry fee, they are only eligible for half of their winnings. The other half will be split and distributed evenly throughout the purse.
Amateur Division Guarantees
For ALL events amateurs will NOT have their own division and will compete against the professionals. They can win up to a maximum of $750 in the form of tour credit or pro shop gift voucher.
* Amateurs under the USGA category of awaiting reinstatement will be allowed to compete in any event, but will NOT be eligible for any prizes.
Prize Money
EVERY FRIDAY THE TOUR WILL SEND OUT PLAYERS CHECKS. If a player is registered for the next event on our schedule by that Friday, their check will be held and given to them at registration. (Players can always pick up their checks throughout the week at the Tour's office so long as they make arrangements to do so).
If a foreign national does not have a social security or tax ID number they will be subject to a 30% withholding tax. They will also need to complete a W-8 BEN form.
U.S. Nationals will be required to complete a W-9 form. A 1099-misc will be mailed to competitor at the end of the year if he or she has won more than $600.
Starting Times
Players starting times will be available at 5pm the night before the tournament. They will be emailed to you or you can check the website under "Starting Times." They are done at random with the players' location in mind. The Tour will be happy to accept starting time requests for players wishing to travel together.
Registration on the Day
Players MUST present themselves at the registration desk as soon as they arrive at the tournament venue. A player must register before going to the driving range, putting green or the 1st tee even if they have prepaid for the event.
Each player MUST be present and ready to play at least 10 minutes prior to his or her starting time. Getting to the tee late disrupts the whole tournament and your playing partners. Please observe this request.
Any returned check will result in a $10 service fee and loss of check writing privileges in certain cases.
Late Withdrawal and No Show Policy
The West Florida Golf Tour requires at least 24 hours notice from the player if he/she decides they need to withdraw from an event they are already registered for. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Richard at (941) 266-7475 or Christian at (215) 630-3644 to withdraw.
Any player that doesn't give 24 hours notice or no shows, will be charged:
$25 on their next entry fee for a one day withdrawal/no show.$50 on their next entry fee for a multi day or Pro Am withdrawal/no show.
Remember, a player can withdraw for any reason prior to the 24 hour deadline without penalty.
As we continue to be as player friendly of a tour as possible, we feel that this will only benefit our players by ensuring the purses and fields are not affected. We have had wait lists for some events and you can imagine a waiting player's frustration at seeing we had a late withdraw or no show. PLAYERS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LATE WITHDRAWS OR NO SHOWS!!!
We know this will not affect the vast majority of you, but we hope you understand the reasoning behind this action.
Any conduct unbecoming of a professional golfer will not be tolerated and the player may lose playing privileges with the Tour as well as being liable to disqualification from that event. Players are reminded to treat the employees of the host club with the up most respect. All West Florida Golf Tour players are expected to repair ball marks along with divots (where appropriate) and rake all bunkers. All cell phones must be in the silent position during play and be used only for live scoring purposes or to contact tournament officials for a ruling. All consumption by competitors of alcoholic beverages is prohibited during the round.
Alcohol & Illegal Drugs
Any player who drinks alcohol or uses any illegal drugs during an official tournament round will be disqualified from the tournament.
Dress Code
All shirts must be collared and no denim is allowed. All shoes must be soft spikes. At certain event players may be required to remove their hat when entering the clubhouse, please be mindful of club rules.
Measuring Devices
Range finders will be permitted on the West Florida Golf Tour, however they cannot measure anything other than true yardage (no slope wind etc). Sky Caddies are permitted.
Hole Location Sheets
Hole Location sheets will be provided and will be available on the 1st tee.
If two or more competitors are tied after the event has been complete, the winner will be decided in a sudden death playoff to be completed immediately after the last group completes their round. If a playoff participant isn't present immediately following completion of play, the Tour will allow for a 15-minute grace period for that player to present himself on the playoff hole. After that, he or she will forfeit.
United States Golf Association current rules govern play with the addition of local rules where applicable.
Rule 3-3. The West Florida Golf Tour strongly urges its players to play two golf balls if they are unsure about a ruling or are uncertain of how to proceed in a specific event if a rules official is not present. Please inform the committee following your round, so that they can make the proper ruling.
A player has the right to suspend play if he/she feels threatened by dangerous lightning conditions without penalty. If West Florida Golf Tour or host club should indicate suspension of play all players should mark their balls, cease playing immediately and seek shelter. The West Florida Golf Tour will and always will have the safety of its competitors in mind first and foremost.
Official Event
An 18 hole tournament is considered complete if the entire field has completed at least nine holes of play. It will then switch from nine hole increments to three hole increments for the back nine. For example:
11 holes completed by final group upon suspension of play = 9 hole event
13 holes completed = 12 hole event
17 holes completed = 15 hole event
For multiday events to become official at least 50% of the holes have to be completed by the final group. Then the nine and three hole principle will become applicable for that days play.
If a tournament is washed out for the day before the final group completes 50% of the holes, then the players' entry fee shall be refunded in full ONLY if the WFGT obtains a refund. If not, then the prize money will be split evenly amongst the field with the WFGT taking no administration fee.
Summer Tour/ Majors (Events with a CUT)
In the event that the field size does not reach 30 players for an event that has a cut, participants will play all 3 days and there will be NO CUT for the event. In this case, the Tour will simply pay 33% of the field after the 3 days. If the event has more than 30 participants, we will CUT to 33% of the field and only those players will play the final day.
Spectators MUST adhere to ALL club rules regarding dress code and conduct. They will be allowed to purchase a spectator cart to ride along IF they are available. In this case, the Tour requires that all spectator carts remain on the paths. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Pace of Play
The following conditions and policies shall govern regulation of the pace of play by the West Florida Golf Tour Rules Committee. In order to prevent any such penalty we strongly suggest you read the following guidelines:
Rule 6-7 states:"The player must play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play guidelines that the Committee may establish. Between completion of a hole and playing from the next teeing ground, the player should not unduly delay play."
If a group is, "out of position", a WFGT Official will begin to monitor them notifying them that the group is "out of position", and they are subject to individual timing. The group in question will have one hole to regain their correct position on the golf course before individual timing of the players in the group begins.
Any players in a group which is "out of position" who takes more than 40 seconds to play a stroke when it is his turn to play is subject to penalty under Rule 6-7, Undue Delay; Slow Play as follows:
Any lost or stolen items are the player's responsibility and not the responsibility of the West Florida Golf Tour. The WFGT reserves the right to deny any player entry for any reason. WFGT participants are responsible for any damage they cause to the host golf clubs property or course. The WFGT is not responsible for any injury that occurs during one of our events, this includes any weather related incidents.

RAE communities in Kosovo
(14/10-2007) Today at a seminar in Oslo the Norwegian Helsinki Committee lectures on the situation of Roma, Ashkaeli and Egyptian minorities in Kosovo.
NHC Kosovo representative Julie Chadbourne bases her presentation at the Holocaust Center on our most recent Kosovo report: "Second Second-class Minorities: The Continued Marginalization of RAE Communities in Kosovo". She says:
"The human rights situation of the RAE communities in Kosovo is grim. For years, human rights organizations both within and outside of Kosovo have acknowledged that the RAE communities remain the most marginalized and discriminated against of communities in the territory."

If someone asked me to describe a perfect Christmas Day, I would use today as the model. It started and finished with rainbows and misty rain. The rest of it had everything a human heart could desire in nature – sun, surf, turf, beach… God even laid on a Christmas Tree – Maui-style (above) :-).
It was a White Christmas, of course. This is Hawaii. The only thing white on this perfect Christmas were the snowy whitecaps kicked up by the ocean breezes or the breaking waves. And the dainty white mushrooms that came up on our lawn.
After a decidedly "Yang" Solstice experience on Haleakala on Dec 21, Christmas Day was just as decidedly my "Yin"-day. It was ruled by the ocean and the gentle land our Mothers, Mama Kocha (Mother Ocean) and Pachamama (Mother Earth).
Initiation & Rebirth & Compassion: That's What Christmas Is About, Not Shopping
I was told by the Spirit this morning I could expect an initiation today. Guess it was a baptism – initiation by water, a rebirth.
"Of course, it is," the penny dropped just now as I was writing these lines. "For, this is first and last about a birthday."
It is a celebration of a new life, a birthday of a very special boy over 2,000 years ago. This day is not about making the merchants happy by going on an annual shopping spree. Nor is it about helping the economy, as Wall Street wants us to think. Those are the beliefs the modern-day con artists have instilled in us.
Sixteen years ago, I told my children that as I explained why they would no longer be getting any presents. That instead, I was hoping that in our family, we will all be giving year round our love, compassion and support to those who are less fortunate (see "Materialism without Idealism," 1997, and Heartwarming Christmas Stories I (Feb 1998) and II (Dec 2000) for some of the results of that Dec 1997 family sermon].
And then I also realized why, when I talk to children about Christmas even now, I tell them that story about why my children are not getting any Christmas presents. I did it last night to an 8-year old boy, for example, at a neighbor's Christmas Eve dinner to which I was invited. And I did it to three of Elizabeth's grandchildren of similar ages at our Christmas/Going Away party in Arizona on Dec 8. I was not trying to preach. These stories just came out spontaneously at a right time.
And then as if to underscore all this, just as I got to this point of the story, I saw an email I received from Siberia. It included a poem on a Christmas card from Nina Goncharova, a Steward of the Earth from Novosibirsk, Russia, wrote (above right). When I wrote back to thank her, I also said that I would include it in my Christmas story.
And then I just opened a similar note I received from Maria Cristina Buiar Bordignon in Brazil. So there are many other people around the world who understand this day is about love and compassion, not shopping and gifts. And our numbers are growing…
A "Yin"-day with Mother Ocean
Ever since I woke up, I felt the urge to be near or in the ocean. Mama Kocha (Mother Ocean) was calling. And for the first time in months, into the ocean I went indeed. I did it at the beautiful Kapalua Bay beach (right). Which also served my initiation into Maui 26 years ago. That 's where my younger daughter and I arrived for our first ever visit to Maui.
I did not even have a swim suit. I just dropped my jeans and swam in my skivvies. Which I discarded afterward to the back of my "El Jeepo."
Balance between the opposites. That's what we are to seek, the Spirit message told us on Dec 21. Well, after today's (ocean) and the Solstice (sun and fire) experiences, I certainly do feel better balanced. Maybe you will, too, after you have had chance to view this video and peruse the still shots from this Christmas Day.
So here we go… Christmas Day 2013, the "perfect Christmas:"
* * *
And now, here are some still shots from this magnificent day…

I have always been interested in physicians who incorporated art into their life and practice, and one of them was Jean Martin Charcot. A towering figure in the medical world of the 19th Century, Charcot was born in 1825 and finished medical school at age 23. He became director of the Saltpêtrière in Paris, an asylum for beggars, prostitutes and the insane, where he carried the title of Professor of Pathological Anatomy and developed this former gun factory into a center for neurology and neurophysiology. His clinic attracted students from all over Europe, and he is remembered today for many diseases which bear his name.
Charcot also has the distinction of using art and photography to study his patients, but few are aware that Charcot carried a sketchbook in his travels. Today Charcot would be considered an Urban Sketcher.
Charcot died in 1893, and in 1898, Henry Meige published a selection from Charcot's sketchbooks. The publication is available on-line through the HathiTrust Digital Library, and a copy is owned by the New York Academy of Medicine. When I learned of this publication I wanted to make copies available to Urban Sketchers, but could not get good quality from the scans on the web. So I went to the New York Academy of Medicine Rare Book Room where I was allowed to photograph the sketches which are reproduced in this post.
Charcot likely used a dip pen with metal nib. He dabbled in scenics and caricatures, and you can almost see the influence of Honoré Daumier – a French artist who was Charcot's contemporary.
You can imagine Charcot sketching his colleague while sitting in a medical meeting.
Charcot's sketches are very expressive and full of whimsy, and the strokes of his pen have courage and feeling. Had Charcot been alive today, he certainly would have joined up with Urban Sketchers on sketch walks through Europe.

30 percent of the adult population in India is reported to smoke regularly or to have been compulsive smokers at some point in their lives. What is shocking, however, is a new report which reveals that 74 percent of the children in Kerala smoke some form of tobacco. The survey, recently undertaken by the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), assessed 119 children from the age of 5 to 18 across the state, and came up with this disturbing finding. Commissioned by the 'Working Group on Substance Abuse and Drug Addiction among Children' under the 'National Commission for Protection of Child Rights' (NCPCR), the study covered 4,024 children across 27 states and two Union Territories. While the Secretary of the State Department of General Education, A. Shahjahan, admits that the sample veers towards the severe end of the spectrum (as first reported by NDTV), the findings are still alarming.
What would disturb a middle-class reader's usual sense of complacency about drug and tobacco use being common only among homeless children or among those from a lower socio-economic background, is that the survey covers children in middle-class families as well. While it is true that children from poorer families may have greater access to cheap forms of tobacco earlier in childhood, and may take to it more casually, those from middle class and upper middle class families generally have greater access to resources to sustain smoking as a habit and they also have greater access to alcohol and to harder forms of addictive substances such as heroin and cocaine and a variety of drugs. Indeed, it is the latter population in metropolitan cities which generally takes to smoking as a rite of passage and as a symbol of 'coolness', often in imitation of movie stars smoking in films. Moreover, tobacco and alcohol generally serve as 'gateway substances' with children who regularly consume these substances more likely to gravitate towards use of harder drugs.
The causes of smoking among children, thus, cannot be sourced back to one particular factor but are over-determined. Easy access to tobacco, imitation of models including parents, access to a global culture of film and TV shows with actors smoking regularly and casually, stressful and abusive home environments, and peer pressure, are only some of the varied causes. Complicating efforts to curb tobacco use, are its cultural precedents in India, which records traditions of smoking as early as 2000 BC (mostly cannabis) although tobacco was only introduced to India in 1600 AD. Thus, in a few states, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, more than 26 percent of the adult population are regular smokers. Further, according to a WHO report in 2009, India is home to 12% of the world's smokers, while 9 lakh people die of smoking-related illnesses in India every year. Information about incidences of smoking among minors is less readily available, but if the survey is anything to go by, the findings would not be salutary.Â
Given these statistics, one may well reflect about the efficacy of disclaimers during movies screened in cinema halls. Besides the standard short films employing horrifying imagery of desiccated lungs and shrunken and blackened trachea, the standard prelude to a film in which the actors engage in smoking for reasons of authenticity or artistry, is a disclaimer to the same effect. What often makes a mockery of even this token gesture is that each time an actor is shown smoking a cigarette in a film, even if it is five to six times within a five minute sequence, the disclaimer returns at the bottom of the screen, losing effect through repetition. It is the mandate forcing these token disclaimers from films that led to Woody Allen withdrawing his Oscar-winning 'Blue Jasmine' from Indian cinemas.
Far more effective in curbing early tobacco consumption would perhaps be organizing presentations by groups of college students in primary and secondary schools across the board on the harmful effects of smoking, as children would be far more likely to take advice from teenagers and young adults after whom they model themselves. Such awareness campaigns carried out by the youth, as through affiliation with the National Service Scheme (NSS) program would also effectively combat peer pressure, one of the primary reasons many children take to smoking.
One measure that can ensure effective curbing of smoking among children is early prevention and spreading of awareness through targeted education. Instituting guidance counsellors/child psychologists at every educational institution is a key step towards gauging periodically, the mental and emotional health of children and preventing them from taking to substance abuse. However, most Indian schools have yet to comply with such a measure. Further, parents should be educated about the ill-effects of smoking, not just to themselves, but to their children. Initiatives such as the Ministry of Health and Welfare's sponsored short film 'Child', which shows the effects of second-hand smoking on children, should help to an extent.
Another key legislation, more evident in the breach than in its observation, is the rule prohibiting sale of tobacco and related products to and by minors within 100 yards of educational institutions, in force (theoretically) since 2004. While police infrastructure to regulate petty crimes is weak in India and bribe-mentality is still rampant, it is vital to implement this legislation to have any hope of making a dent in the sizeable population of smokers in India. Emblematic in this regard, are Chandigarh and Shimla's 'Smoke-free City' campaigns which have shown reasonable signs of success since their inauguration in recent years. However, far wider campaigns are needed if India is to prevent the loss of one in five of its males and one in 20 of its females to smoking-related illnesses (according to a WHO report).
